Assuming there's enough material on the underside of your bed, drilling and tapping the bed's holes out to M10 would be the easiest.

To do that you need a 9.1mm drill bit (or something close), and an M10 tap drill (https://www.amazon.com/Irwin-8338-10mm-1-0-Metric/dp/B0002JT0XW). If the mounting part is metal, this might not be that easy. If it's wood, it becomes far easier.

You'll need to know whether the thread on the legs is M10x1 (fine thread) or M10x1.25 (course thread). The second number indicates the space between each thread height. Metal on your bed and it's probably M10x1. Wood and it's probably M10X1.25. The tap is different depending on what the thread pitch is.
